FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Japan S is a fashion sneaker designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for athletic running or high-impact training.

Is the material genuine leather?

The ASICS Japan S utilizes a premium synthetic leather upper construction that balances durability with the classic look of the original 1981 design.

How does the sizing run?

These trainers generally follow standard UK sizing conventions; we recommend purchasing your usual size for a comfortable, regular fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is strongly advised against. Machine washing can compromise the leather and the adhesives used in the cupsole; always stick to hand-cleaning.

Are these unisex?

While listed here for men, the Japan S series features a versatile design that is often worn by all genders depending on the specific sizing and colourway available.

Troubleshooting

Creasing appearing on the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to maintain their shape and minimize deep-set creases.

Difficulty keeping the white leather clean

Apply a leather protector spray before first use to create a barrier against moisture and surface stains.

Heel slipping while walking

Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to secure the ankle area more firmly against the padded collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are designed for a standard fit consistent with UK sizing. Upon purchase, ensure your laces are adjusted to your preferred tension at the padded ankle collar to lock in the heel.

Care Instructions:

  1. Keep the leather surface clean by wiping away dust and surface debris with a soft, damp cloth.
  2. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial detergents.
  3. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather shoe cleaner applied with a soft-bristled brush.
  4. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
